The new vulnerability, by Trustwave's SpiderLabs researcher Simon Kenin, can allow remote hackers to obtain the admin password for the Netgear router through a flaw in the password recovery process. After trying out his flaw on a range of Netgear routers, Kenin was surprised to know that more than ten thousand vulnerable devices used the flawed firmware and can be accessed remotely. He has also released an for testing purpose, written in Python.

Just last month, the US-CERT advised users to routers due to a serious bug that permitted command injection. However, in an effort to make its product safe, Netgear recently partnered up with Bugcrowd to launch a that can earn researchers cash rewards of up to $15,000 for finding and responsibly reporting flaws in its hardware, APIs, and the mobile apps.
